Unfortunately, I don't think you can--at least, not without some potentially
significant scripting. This because by accessing the API, you are
effectively telling the program what to do. If the program is told by a
config setting to do nothing, it will do precisely that. Therefore it won't
listen to the calls you make to the API. The only thing I can think of is if
you somehow tell JAWS to switch to no-speech mode when the application's
running, but I'm not sure if you'll then still have that problem.

Subject: Make JAWS sleep but leave API active?
Hello,
I am writing some custom applications that are intended to be used with
JAWS.
I want to make JAWS sleep when the application is active - that is, not
react to anything happening in the application, not read any controls on its
own, etc - but still leave the speech API available for access by the
application.
Basically this means the application is going to provide all of the vocal UI
feedback, rather than relying on JAWS internal methods.
I am doing this because I am using some Windows controls in unusual ways and
allowing JAWS to voice the control as it normally would will be confusing to
the user.
If I use the Config manager and set Sleep, this "sleeps" the API as well and
calls to speak via the API are ignored.
Can I get JAWS to stop all of its own self-voicing while in my app but still
leave the speech API available so I can direct JAWS what to speak?
Thank you
FM
